Handmade Carnelian & Shell Komboloi / Worry Beads (Sterling Silver 925)

Beautifully handmade on a quality sterling silver chain, it consists of natural reddish-brown Carnelian beads in round shape (12mm), white Shell beads, sterling silver beads, a sterling silver shield and decorative sterling silver.  

Komboloi can be handled in many different ways. The most common and correct way is a quiet method - start at one end of the thread or chain, near the shield, and to pull the thread forward using that hand's thumb and the side of the index finger until one of the beads is reached. Then the cord is tipped so that the bead falls and hits the shield. This is repeated until all the beads have been tipped and then the user starts over.

This product is just a small sample of the wide variety of products available.
